Science, Not Fiction is the tenth studio album by British heavy metal band Orange Goblin. The album was released on 19 July 2024 by Peaceville Records.[2] It is the band's first album to feature bassist Harry Armstrong, who joined after the retirement of founding bassist Martyn Millard in 2021.[3] Reviewers noted lyrical content of a more serious nature than on the band's previous albums, with a focus on religion, science, and spirituality,[1] plus a taste of sarcasm and a voice of reason among modern political discussions.[4][5] The new lyrical outlook was inspired by singer Ben Ward's adoption of a healthier lifestyle.[6]
